It's Week 2 of the NFL: Use the Comments section here to provide your pre-game, mid-game and post-game analysis. Anything and everything is on the table. Let's start with this: What are your biggest, boldest predictions for the week? (Then, we'll see just how right -- or so very, very wrong -- you are.) Have at it, genius Commenters.

Carolina just did one of the most bone-headed things I've ever seen. Up by 7, force a 4th down punt, and try to do some half-assed razzmatazz on the punt return that ends up giving Minnesota the ball on the 20 yard line of the Panthers. Un-freakin'-believable.

My prediction: Because of the convergence of Oktoberfest, the Herbstreit Ohio v. USA Challenge, and a game between the Browns and Bengals at PBS, someone in my apartment complex will puke right by the door for the third night in a row.

Also, leave it to Herm Edwards to have one of the best backs in the league, but having an offense that can't score a touchdown. I know it's a backup now, but they looked terrible with Green in there, too.

You were giving Baltimore some love in the morning, I think San Diego should get equal love for the afternoon and Atlanta deserves some lov foor the strength of their two victories. There's a lot of good QB play to counter the bad. Peyton 400 yds, Eli 375, Brees 350, Favre 350, Palmer 350, McNabb 350, Vick rushing for 100.

i watched the det/chi game due to fantasy reasons (roy williams) and all I can say is that detroit sucks. kitna sucks and color me not impressed with grossman either.

let me say this...are people finally off the chris simms bandwagon cause he's terrible. he had one decent half against the skins in the playoffs, but after taylor left the game. the kid stinks. i'm in a grouchy mood.

I seriously think I may be giving up on pro football. It hurts so much to be a raider fan right now. But the upside to this is that if they keep this up we may be able to finally figure out how much a Black Hole actually sucks.

The race for 1st pick overall is Raiders, titans, packers, texans. Thanks Dan for throwing the love at the chargers, but I'm a Jags man myself and I think you may have to revise "the chargers are the best in the NFL" after the Jags beat the defending champs tomorrow. And if not after the win tomorrow then definitely after we beat the Colts in Indy next week.

That silence you here from the banks of the Delaware River is the sound of 2 million Eagles fans, collectively slitting their wrists at the same time.

Out here in Illinois, this Eagles fan threw one after another of his foam "hate bricks" at the TV as Da Boids gagged up a 17-point lead *at home*.

When will Andy Reid learn that you need a Roger Craig-style back in the WC Offense?? Is anyone else annoyed that Brian Westbrook is considered our "best" RB? And, after that costly fumble ... will Reid *finally* acknowledge that if they do not fear your running game, they will not fear *you*???

We should trade with the Chargers for Michael "The Burner" Turner, who had a buck-thirty-eight today for the Bolts. I had the pleasure of watching Turner during his career at NIU ... and he is a terrific back who deserves to be the featured back.

Gotta give it to Benson and Loomis credit. This is a different Saints team. Under Haslett, we were the worst good team in football (not counting Katrina season, rule of Louisiana, if it happened in Katrina Year,doesnt count) Now with Peyton and Brees we are, I think, the best bad team.

As for Reggie, he actually has, they showed a graphic during game, he leads the team in first downs and is becoming the go-to-3rd Down Guy. Reggie is being quiet keeping chains moving.

Defenses normally doesnt win games until later half, imagine thes Ds getting better. Plus they've instilled a new fangled offense: QB Pass to Whoever is Open. So strange, its confusing teams. NOONE would take McNair or Grossmen in ANY draft in the 1st three rounds, but theyre teams are rolling by K.I.S.S. on offense
